    Pepp Golf: Round 1 at Torrey Pines

    Round 1 of the eighth tournament of the season, which takes place at the Torrey Pines North Course, played out much like round 1 at the seventh tournament of the season at PGA West. Just like last time, RJ Manke and Sahith Theegala are 1-2 in the standings. Manke fired a 6-under 66 to end…

    Pepp Golf: Round 3 at PGA West

    The best round by any player this season came in the final round of the event at the PGA West Stadium Course, as an incredible 12-under 60 by Joshua McCarthy took him from six shots back to a four-shot win, his first of the season. Remarkably, McCarthy had three eagles on par-5s to go with…

    Pepp Golf: Round 2 at PGA West

    It’s the Joe Highsmith show once again. He fired a 7-under 65 in the second round at the PGA West Stadium Course to grab a three-shot lead and take a big step toward a three-peat. He didn’t have the best round of the day, however. Roy Cootes caught fire and shot an 8-under 64 to…

    Pepp Golf: Round 1 at PGA West

    RJ Manke and Sahith Theegala haven’t been at the top of the leaderboard for a while, but they both had excellent first rounds at the PGA West Stadium Course as tournament #7 got underway. The Waves have regularly played in The Prestige at PGA West, though that takes place on the Norman Course. With that…

    Pepp Golf: Round 3 at Chambers Bay

    It’s been a good run for Joe Highsmith, both in real life and on the tabletop. He recently tied for eighth place at the PGA Championship, which I believe is the best-ever finish by a Wave at a men’s major. Here in History Maker Golf, he became the tour’s first two-time winner, and he went…

    Pepp Golf: Round 2 at Chambers Bay

    It was another rough day at Chambers Bay Golf Course for the Waves, but one golfer tamed the course to take a sizeable lead into the final round. Joe Highsmith, who hails from just down the road from the course, fired a 4-under 66 to go from four shots back into a three-stroke lead. Highsmith…

    Pepp Golf: Round 1 at Chambers Bay

    The Waves are facing their biggest challenge of the season thus far, as an extremely difficult Chambers Bay Golf Course saw them post scores much higher than the last couple of tournaments. Only four players finished below par in the first round, with Clay Feagler and Derek Hitchner tied for first place with 2-under 68s…

    Pepp Golf: Round 3 at Conway Farms

    Five tournaments are complete with five different winners, as Joe Highsmith went wire-to-wire to claim the title at Conway Farms Golf Club. Highsmith shot an 18-under 195 to win by three strokes. He entered the final round with a two-shot lead. He started conservatively, with six straight pars. His closest competitors, William Mouw and Joshua…

    It’s a three-man race heading into the final round at Conway Farms Golf Club. Joe Highsmith, looking for his first victory of the season, has a two-shot lead over William Mouw and a four-shot advantage over Joshua McCarthy. Highsmith and Mouw both shot 6-under 65s and were joined by Clay Feagler for the day’s top…
